Ok i have be concidering this question but thought I would through this out there. Would a surpluse Military CUCV Blazer with the old 6.2 desiel survive an EMP pulse? If I remember correctly these where all Mech injections systems with the starter and charging system being the only real electronics. Am I right on this

| It's really hard to say one way or the other with the EMP thing. It's been tested only a handful of times and sometimes the car works fine, others it doesn't. There are a great many variables including the frequency of the EMP, the computer in the vehicle, distance from the EMP, etc... |

You are correct on the the old CUCV, the GM diesels were machanical up to 1994 or 95. The older .mil blazers didn't have a computer at all IIRC. I have an 88 Blazer with a 6.2 in it, the computer controlled the torque converter clutch and the emission controls, neither of which will stop you if it doesn't work. Be prepared to not be in a hurry, I think the .mil version of the 6.2 had about 120 HP. Ops |
i have always liked the CUCV pick ups . Those things are built like tanks, but with a family there just isnt enough room. The only down side the the CUCV blazer is I dont believe the axles are as stout. I think the are still half to axles. I have read reports of them geting like 26-28 MPG though as long as you are not in a hurry to get anywhere

Found some pretty cool info but its limited.
| Don't forget that there are turbos out there for the 6.2.hinking |
